I wandered lonely as a cloud




And I was so sure this was Dickinson, not Wordsworth. Whatever Dickinson could have done with this line, going forth, I would have liked it better.

I've decided to share some favorite posts of the past week or so, every so often, now and then. Five of them, perhaps. To kick this off, how about:

Kenny Mac

Camissonia

Petrea

Marjie

Sonia

Ok, wait. Since this is the first time, just one more

Marvelous photos -- and I agree that Dickinson would have created something amazing upon seeing this.

Now I'll check out the links...

Petrea Burchard said...

It's so nice of you to include me and the Pooper.

I enjoyed everyone's posts. I really did. Thanks.

More awesome cloud shots, Karin...you're pretty good at this! And thanks so much for including me on your list - how cool is that?

A Cloud withdrew from the Sky
Superior Glory be
But that Cloud and its Auxiliaries
Are forever lost to me

Had I but further scanned
Had I secured the Glow
In an Hermetic Memory
It had availed me now.

Never to pass the Angel
With a glance and a Bow
Till I am firm in Heaven
Is my intention now

No, you can't beat Wordsworth. He shaped the Romantic Movement, and got us to appreciate a host of golden daffodils. But maybe I've been raised with William and you with Emily.

Good fun looking at all the blogs.

(Wow, wv has become an IQ test.)

Gorgeous photos, Karin!

It's so sweet of you for including me on your list! Thank you so much!
I will visit other friends very soon.

Kaori said...

Gorgeous sky! And a wonderful list of posts to be introduced to! Happy Friday :D

Very nice to be included with a few of my favorite bloggers as well as with some that it would behoove me to check out.

(Is this the first time in my life that I have used the word "behoove?" Yes, it is.)

Beautiful Blog Camissonia. I think I've visited you in the past. I recall a post on a Bob Cat sighting. Now that would have been my favorite

btw: whats with the word verifications. I had to resort to the audio - which mind you is akin to something out of the exorcist

Marjie said...

Emily would have done better, no doubt. Anonymous proves that.

PJ O'Rourke once took a stab at it, too. His second line went something to the effect of "And then I got drunk and went to Reno."

And thanks for including me in the links. I'm off to read them all.

The WVs have gotten so weird I've turned them off. Blogger's spam filter is pretty good; in a week it's caught all but one.

You know, I heard some guy on the radio the other day complaining about blogger, facebook etc., in that people tend to visit those who share a similar experience and view of life. I disagree. What do these six (and the next time I post five or two or whatever)have in common other than the ability to share what it's like to walk around a bit of this world in their shoes.

Margaret said...

On my way to check them out.

Mister Earl said...

Great photos, Karin.

The WV's now look like the ones on Ticketmaster.

altadenahiker said...

Not only is the new WV irritating, it has robbed us of a word game. I'm turning it off too, and we'll see how it goes.

Vanda said...

I love those pics.

Shell Sherree said...

Beautiful pics ~ such a peaceful vibe, which I need after spending 15 mins trying to figure out how to turn word verification off on my own blog. Yeesh.

Desiree said...

Gorgeous--all of 'em.

Above the City said...

Out walking the cloud.

Great pictures.

Brenda's Arizona said...

I'm with Bellis.
And somedays... ya just want to wander lonely as a cloud.

Virginia said...

Great idea! Thanks for the links.

Sort of dreamland here.

Banjo52 said...

Purty shots. These days I'd usually choose Emily (maybe not this one), but WW was important to me too, still is.

TheChieftess said...

Wonderful shots Hiker!!! And I enjoyed checking out the links!!!
As for the wv...it didn't bother me that much until you mentioned our word game!!! Dayam!!! What fun is it now?!!!
